Re: Health Care Bill passes House

Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats don't have the luxury of a big majority. They need 60 votes for cloture to even begin debate on the bill, 60 votes to waive the budget rules that the bill will violate, and 60 votes for cloture on final passage. There are 60 Democrats in the Senate. A far cry from the 80 seat majority in the House.
